Vintage Filtroptic photo filter with retro optical photography case

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage photographic filter from the Filtroptic brand is presented in its original case, visible in the photo. The item consists of a circular filter with a thin, dark-tinted mount, inserted into a rigid storage box with a sliding lid. The case features the inscription "FILTROPTIC" printed in capital letters on its front, with a slightly patinated appearance that attests to its age.

The filter itself shows a metallic mount (dark metallic appearance, without affirmation of the precise material), encircling an optical lens with a uniform and clean appearance. The yellow protective foam, typical of vintage photo accessories, is still present inside the case and holds the filter in place. No defects or chips are visible on the exposed face of the filter or on the external surface of the case.

The ensemble displays a design typical of photographic accessories from past decades, with a sober and utilitarian aesthetic characteristic of vintage products. The storage box has a square shape with rounded corners, in a satin white plastic finish, contrasting with the black color of the filter.

This type of optical filter is used in analog or digital photography, screwed onto the front of a compatible lens. It can be used to modify the rendering of light, colors, or contrasts depending on its nature, although the precise type is not explicitly indicated in the photo.

The "filter + Filtroptic case" set is clearly visible on the front, without excessive signs of wear. The lettering on the case is clear, the inner foam appears to be in good condition, and the filter shows no apparent scratches on the exposed face.
